Ritesh M, GP

I am Chinese and I come from Hong Kong.

I have been teaching the Alexander Technique since 1992.

I first had lessons in the Alexander Technique to help me with longstanding back and neck pain. My very tense physical condition was interfering with many areas of my life and nothing seemed to help. With the Alexander work, I experienced a new lease of life. Now in my 50s, I feel healthier, happier and more at ease with myself than I ever was as a younger person.

My Professional Alexander Training

I have graduated from two different Alexander Teacher Training programmes:

STAT The Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique and ITM Alexander Technique The Interactive Teaching Method of the Alexander Technique.

From 1989 to 1992, I studied under the late Paul Collins on a STAT certified course. Paul Collins was a professional runner as well as a concert violinist. Paul taught me the value of an open inquiring mind both in learning the Alexander Technique and in living in general.

From 1993 to 1998, I studied with Don Weed D.C. in the Interactive Teaching Method (ITM Alexander Technique). Don's unique approach to the Alexander Technique has instilled in me a curiosity and sensitivity to human nature and human movement. I also learned the fun, joy and skills of teaching in groups.

I teach private lessons, I teach in groups.I have worked with people in many walks of life.I run workshops and give presentations for different professional groups.I very much enjoy meeting people and am always curious to find out what has brought them to the Alexander Technique.

You should be warned - learning the Alexander Technique with Estella does mean that you will discover muscles you haven't used in a while - all the ones associated with laughing
